NextBase IN-CAR-CAM-312GW user manual

Yes, the Nextbase In-Car Cam 312GW does have a parking mode. This mode allows the camera to continue recording even when the car is parked and the engine is turned off. It is particularly useful for monitoring your car while it is unattended, providing surveillance and security footage of any incidents that may occur while parked.

To connect your Nextbase 312 Dash Cam to your phone, you can follow these steps:
1. Download the "Nextbase Cam Viewer" app from your phone's app store. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
2. Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your phone and that the Dash Cam is powered on.
3. On your Nextbase Dash Cam, navigate to the Wi-Fi settings menu. On the 312 model, you can find this by pressing the menu button, selecting the settings icon (gear symbol), and then selecting "Wi-Fi."
4. In the Wi-Fi settings menu, select the option to enable Wi-Fi. The Dash Cam will create a Wi-Fi network with a name that typically starts with "Nextbase" followed by some numbers and characters.
5. Open the Nextbase Cam Viewer app on your phone. It should automatically detect the Dash Cam's Wi-Fi network.
6. Tap on the Dash Cam's Wi-Fi network in the app to connect to it.
7. Once connected, you can use the app to view and download videos and photos recorded by the Dash Cam, adjust settings, and perform other functions.
